Imagine what I go through every time I do a revamp on how a line is setup or change imports/exports as I 'see' tweaks that allow me to build in excess. But as I said in my first post, I am an engineer at heart... I have to SEE it to understand it.<br /><br />Plus I got my start in computers at TCC & ODU taking Drafting, CAD & Engineering and later as the Art Director for a Screen Printing firm back in the mid 80's... so drafting up a pic is the best way for me to learn a complex system.<br /><br />Three things have become prime to me (after ore totals)...<br /><br />(1) every facility is in contact range of all others (shortest links/greatest available routing)<br /><br />(2) I never ever use Storage Facs anymore. Period. I use the launchpad and POCO for storage... I wanna squeeze every tf and KW out of my Grid that I can.<br /><br />(3) EXCESS extraction to build up excess raw ores stored in the POCOS.<br /><br />Right now I could actually shut down all Extraction on my Enhanced Uranium, and run the 2 AIFs for about 3 to 4 days off of stored excess alone. This allows me to retask the Extractors for other ores and extract excess for export and storage in other POCOs.<br /><br />You, as you said, do JIT manufacturing... I do... what, PFTF? Prep For The Future Manufacturing... =]<br /><br />Nothing bugs me more right now than loggin onto a planet and NOT seeing waves of ore being extracted!! (hence the excess...)Turamarth Elrandirhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08129383421613323047noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7050183471078758937.post-69997477436556013602012-09-27T12:55:20.890-04:002012-09-27T12:55:20.890-04:00LOL - nice one Tur. I love your annotated picture....LOL - nice one Tur. I love your annotated picture. I wish I'd thought of that. That's really quite instructive by itself.<br /><br />And as for perfect setups, you are correct. There is no perfect setup. And even if there was, I'd forget to fully stock the hopper with one of the many P1 items needed and end up depleting my reserves for one P2 items and unbalancing the whole damn line. I'll be days fixing that mistake!<br /><br />*mumble, mumble, mumble*Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07326933418820669302noreply@blogger.com
